Despite obvious plot holes and frustrating dialogue, ATM is a solid horror that manages to deliver due to its suspenseful scenes and imagery. All around decent.

"ATM" não é assim tão mau. Tem suspense, ação e um bom final (adequado para este tipo de filmes). O elenco é razoável e o enredo é realmente bom.
7/10

The movie is somewhat scary because many people can relate to that type of situation, ATMs are scary places at night. I'm not gonna spoil anything but I will say that the reason it didn't get a 10 from me is the ending. It wasn't the best ending I have seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for an entertains movie as a time waster, then this is the perfect movie for you,but if you are looking for a very logical movie with a big twist, then watch something else. I enjoyed it though, and I would probably enjoy a sequel.… Expand

The Good: While it gets off to a clunky start, the acting isn't really all that bad. The three leads at least gave it their all despite being hamstrung by a ridiculous idea and horrible script.

The Bad: Completely pointless ... even for a mindless slasher flick. The deaths in the movie are rarely due to the menacing man outside the ATM booth, but due to the character's own stupidity. A sub-par film that doesn't become truly terrible until it's horrible and nonsensical ending.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is not that bad. It has suspense, action and a fairly good ending for that kind of thrillers. I was a bit disappointed that the killer was just a psychopath and he had no motivation of killing them but I guess the writers find it better that way... The cast is ok and the plot is really good and quite original actually. It is enjoyable and if you watch as a thriller it's good if you see it as a great picture it's not that good because there are many better thrillers than ATM but the film is still entertaining… Expand

There is,ATM is very reminiscent of classic horror movies such as The Shining, Halloween, and Misery and seems to draw from modern successes such as The Strangers and The Collector. The film is simple, which clearly works to it's advantage. There is, thankfully, no nudity or vast amounts of unneeded gore or profanity either. It is clear and to the point, three victims trapped in extreme conditions by a mysterious killer.

Honestly, my wife and I loved this film despite the extremely low and negative reviews it has been given. Furthermore, I'd probably place ATM as one of my top 15 favorite horror films. It's all here, good acting, tense scenarios, suspense, action, horror, and intrigue. The film doesn't draw anything out and flows extremely well from beginning to end. We even found ourselves actually liking the characters!

If you like movies with extreme conditions, survival, horror elements, scarcity of unneeded gore and profanity, and a straightforward plot, look no further. ATM satisfies its purpose. A highly engaging and entertaining film.… Expand

ATM, cool idea, but bad development. The idea is good (but some strange), the beginnig is good, after we have some great and scare moments, but finally is like a boring movie. The cast is really good, but have some terrible moments.

The main flaw in "ATM" is that it's really about the villain, yet focuses the entire time on the heroes. Our main characters are boring cutouts, who only bring good acting to the table after a bland setup (helped along immensely by an implausibly ill-equipped friend), and after a stop in an ATM find themselves trapped by a mysterious man outside. The thought processes and decisions made early on come off as smart and reasonable enough, but the loosely-written conclusion is where any well-developed plot deflates. The implication in the ending is that the villain set everything up to frame this man, and this is something he does habitually, but how could he pull that off? There are so many loose ends left that, from the standpoint of law enforcement, would seem rather big question marks as to the certainty of our main character being the "guilty" one. How would they explain the busted-up door in the back, or the man he burned who was sitting in a lawn chair, or the sequence of events and murders, or the friggin' CAR driven into the ATM? And if this is something he does habitually, wouldn't the police catch on? Would they really believe that a string of very unusual ATM multiple murders would be a result of random individual psychopaths and not perhaps something simpler and more obvious? It just doesn't work - ATM is a cool idea written ultimately into the ground.… Expand

ATM, a horror/suspense film with average performances and above acceptable suspense has an ending that will make you wish their were a sequel. Full Review coming soon.

Good to see Josh Peck can still get a role even if there is nothing enjoyable about this movie.

This is heart-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. With a simple yet effective premise of three people trapped in an ATM, the film delivers a claustrophobic and tension-filled experience. The suspense builds as the hooded man outside circles the ATM, cutting off all means of escape. The acting is solid and the lack of character development adds to the sense of helplessness. While the pacing can be slow at times, the film is a must-watch for horror fans looking for a thrilling ride.… Expand
